Clonezilla Live 2.6.3-7 Testing (x86/x64) – {Latest}
Clonezilla Live 2.6.3-7 Testing (x86/x64) – {Latest}
Clonezilla is one of the best open source programs to create backup copies of the entire disk and avoid formatting and reinstalling any programs from scratch every time the operating system has problems or is infected with viruses.
Clonezilla supports all common file system types (NTFS, FAT, hfs +, ext2, ext3, EXT4 …) and is therefore the ideal solution to create a “image” of the disk where Windows operating system is installed, Linux or Mac OS.
It saves not only the operating system, MBR (Mast Boot Record) and all installed programs, but also all the settings you have added, for example if you use Outlook or Thunderbird to read your mail, will also save your mail settings as your username and password, avoid having to re-configure email accounts.
To create a backup copy of the entire disk Clonezilla needs to write the data (hard disk image that will be created) to an external hard drive (hard disk usb) greater than the source capacity. Then always check this requirement.
Features:
- Free (GPL) Software.
- Filesystem supported: (1) ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, reiser4, xfs, jfs of GNU/Linux, (2) FAT, NTFS of MS Windows, (3) HFS+ of Mac OS, (4) UFS of FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, and (5) VMFS of VMWare ESX. Therefore you can clone GNU/Linux, MS windows, Intel-based Mac OS, and FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD, no matter it’s 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x86-64) OS. For these file systems, only used blocks in partition are saved and restored. For unsupported file system, sector-to-sector copy is done by dd in Clonezilla.
- LVM2 (LVM version 1 is not) under GNU/Linux is supported.
- Grub (version 1 and version 2) is supported.
- Unattended mode is supported. Almost all steps can be done via commands and options. You can also use a lot of boot parameters to customize your own imaging and cloning.
- Multicast is supported in Clonezilla SE, which is suitable for massively clone. You can also remotely use it to save or restore a bunch of computers if PXE and Wake-on-LAN are supported in your clients.
- The image file can be on local disk, ssh server, samba server, or NFS server.
- Based on Partclone (default), Partimage (optional), ntfsclone (optional), or dd to image or clone a partition. However, Clonezilla, containing some other programs, can save and restore not only partitions, but also a whole disk.
- By using another free software drbl-winroll, which is also developed by us, the hostname, group, and SID of cloned MS windows machine can be automatically changed.
Minimum System Requirements for Clonezilla live:
- X86 or x86-64 processor
- 196 MB of system memory (RAM)
- Boot device, e.g. CD/DVD Drive, USB port, PXE, or hard drive
Limitations:
- The destination partition must be equal or larger than the source one.
- Differential/incremental backup is not implemented yet.
- Online imaging/cloning is not implemented yet. The partition to be imaged or cloned has to be unmounted.
- Software RAID/fake RAID is not supported by default. It’s can be done manually only.
- Due to the image format limitation, the image can not be explored or mounted. You can NOT recovery single file from the image. However, you still have workaround to make it, read this.
- Recovery Clonezilla live with multiple CDs or DVDs is not implemented yet. Now all the files have to be in one CD or DVD if you choose to create the recovery iso file.
License:
Clonezilla itself is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 2. However, to run Clonezilla, a lot of free and open source software, e.g. the Linux kernel, a mininal GNU/Linux OS, are required.
What’s New:
This release of Clonezilla live (2.6.1-25) includes major enhancements and bug fixes.
Enhancements and Changes from 2.6.0-37
- The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2019/Apr/20).
- From this release the AMD64 version works for uEFI secure boot.
- Linux kernel was updated to 4.19.28-2.
- Partclone was updated to 0.3.12+git00e0212.
- Package ezio-static was updated to 1.1.8.
- Package vbetool was added. Thanks to Joerg Schiermeier for asking this
- Package mbmon was added.
- Add USB NIC modules in initramfs of live system. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/discussion/Clonezilla_server_edition/thread/de7c4f810a/
- A new mode for Clonezilla lite server was added: massive deployment from raw device using bittorrent mechanism. About the usage, please check https://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/12_lite_server_BT_from_dev
- For Clonezilla lite sever, change ezio_seeder_extra_opt as ezio_seeder_opt. Add two more options: ezio_leecher_opt and ezio_common_opt in drbl-ocs.conf. These three options can also be overwritten if it’s assigned in boot parameters.
- Assign “-t 1” for ezio_leecher_opt so that ezio will timeout in 1 min.
- Add nuttcp as an alternative to netcat in ocs-onthefly. Add dialog for choosing compression algorithm in expert mode. Option “-u” was added in the dialog of expert mode to use nuttcp.
- To avoid OOM killer to kill ezio, we use the multi torrent files support (ezio >= 1.1.6) and limit the cache size. It can be tuned by ezio_cache_ratio in drbl-ocs.conf.
- Add a mechanism to reuse image for BT from raw device mode. The option -mdst-img can be used to assign the existing pseudo image.
Bug Fixes
- Can’t create disk image if swap is provided by logical volume listed in crypttab. Thanks to Constantino Michailidis for providing the patch file. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/314/
- Add sleep .1 before cat /proc/partitions to file. Thanks to Zibarov Volodymyr. Ref: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/318/
- Label parsed from EFI boot entry was wrong when multiple OSs are available. This should fix the issue that bricks Dell’s machine: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/310/. Thanks to Dell US & Taiwan, and AMI Taiwan.
- Live USB version of Clonezilla live should not link /home/partimag to /run/live/medium/home/partimag/ when there is no images exist in /run/live/medium/home/partimag/. The find command was wrong.
- Option “-p poweroff” of ocs-sr did not work when saving partition image with image checking is enabled. Previous fix only works for savedisk.
